The North American International Auto Show is a site to be seen around the country, but in the Detroit area it is a chance for the millions of local auto workers that live here to see what they may be producing and take pride in their company's name. Every year in January, the Cobo Center hosts the Detroit version of the Auto show and every year well over a half million people make the trip to the venue to take in the glory. This is a show for everyone, even the little ones. This years event took place from January 19 thru January 27th. It was a week of beauty, style, and concept. If you are a people watcher there is something here for you. If you are a car aficionado this is your dream, and if you are just looking for your next vehicle this is the place to start. He seemed to bring back his memories in full color HD detail in my mind. A lot of those stories are fleeting at best, I am sure he added in his own little exaggerated touches but back then it didn't matter. That is what Deer Camp stories did for me in D&DH magazine in the off season too. My Dad used to call my grandfather a bullshitter and never fully understood that till after growing up and experiencing life for myself. I think this life needs bullshitters to carry on that tradition of deer hunting we have all come to love.

She remembered the day her son Teddie had brought Charlie home. They'd just moved into an apartment after selling the house he'd been born in. She'd done it for the worst reason of all, to try to hang on to a new man she'd just met and with whom her son had, at best, a nervous relationship. It seemed as though she just couldn't stop making mistakes, and now this. She remembered her last days in the house, how she'd walked out and never looked back and how she hadn't been able to drive by it for the longest time, long after the man had gone, long after Charlie had died and been reborn at least a dozen more times. site Considering cost of living in her area in the seventies, her income was suitable. A new home could be purchased for $25,000. A postage stamp rose from $0.06 in 1970 to $0.15 in 1979. I asked my mother if she could recall some prices of the decade. She remembered bread being $0.29, gas $0.74 a gallon, candy bars $0.05, soft drinks $0.10-0.15 a bottle in the early seventies and in the late seventies prices started to rise. She remembered cigarettes costing $1.00 a pack, cracker $0.29, milk $1.00 and most canned goods $0.10. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? Have you ever been involved in a situation where you felt you were treated unfairly, yet you didn't know how to resolve it? We all face situations like these most every day. Of course, the easiest "remedy" is to just keep quiet and not deal with the problem. But, in reality, the best remedy is to negotiate a resolution so the matter can end. I had just started on another beer when someone dropped a few coins in the juke box. The music was bad country. To my utter disgust the first song that played was that "I want to stick a boot up your butt" super-patriotic, ultra-jingoist thing by the guy in the buy kodiak truck commercials. The people around me began to sing along loudly. So far all that is being offered are the trimmings, what about where it really counts? GMC's upgrades have been focused on the chassis and powertrain. It's not as strong as the Ford F-Series with their Super Duty, but the Sierra Denali has a 20,000 -pound maximum towing capacity with a fifth wheel trailer like the Chevy Silverado HD. Its diesel engine is the star of the show. GMC has made substantial upgrades with their oiling system that saw an 11% increase in highway fuel economy and a range of 680 miles thanks in part to its 36 gallon fuel tank. This is certainly what many will want to hear with regards to saving gas. Luxury is nice, but economy is even better regarding fuel prices. Outdoor Bob, needed a truck to go to work. Linda went with Bob to the local Ford dealer and bought a new Ford pickup. Linda had the credit so the loan was in her name. About six months later, Bob started to stop off on Friday at the local saloon to cash his paycheck. Sure enough, there was a dart board there and a few of the guys started tossing darts for beers. Bob was pretty good and they invited him to be on the local dart team. However, if you would like to get more out of the auto museum, you may also want to purchase the Auburn Inn overnight package which is for $129.99 but this would be good for two people already.
